I'll never understand caffeine addicts. It's such a boring drug to get hooked on. How do people find it pleasurable? It does nothing but slightly increase your concentration at most. You don't even get a dopamine hit.

I'm in the Top 10% of players in my league, but I'll never be in the Top 1%.

Why? Because everyone there is either cheating or on something.

Caffeine is legal and not banned by most sporting jurisdictions, so if that's the only thing you can take to enhance performance -- you take it.

With a caffeine addiction, I can skirt Top 6% and lie to myself that I deserve that position.

You sound like you think coffee drinkers are trying to get high by drinking coffee.

Well they sure act like it gets them high, especially when people say that they literally cannot function without caffeine. Sure sounds like drug addiction to me.
